Rick Bass quotes about
dog family-and-friends comfort
I do not concern myself with my inability to feel such comfort amidst humans (other than with very few friends and family), but, rather, am simply thankful that at least dogs exist, and I’m humbly aware of how much less a person I’d be – how less a human – if they did not exist.
july august years
My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July.
trouble
Nothing will get you into trouble so deep or as sad as faith.
waste would-be want
To not pursue the thing one wants would be a waste of one's life.
responsibility weight moments
There are none among us who have not been, even for a moment, cruel to those whom we love most, as if unable, in that moment, to shoulder any longer the magnificent weight and burden, the responsibility, of that love.
dream ambition compromise
Even the largest of my dreams and ambitions, I realize with increasing dismay, were puny, measly, compared to the object of my dreaming. I would not say my life to date has been built overmuch of compromise, but still, it surrounds me.
succeed nonfiction results
Fiction is harder for me than nonfiction - more gratifying, as a result, when it succeeds.
